I don't think people should be getting too excited for Left 4 Dead.

I know what most of you people are thinking and it's that Valve + Zombies = Awesome. But I really don't think this is the case here.

Valve aren't even the ones developing the game. It's Turtle Rock Studios who were the same people that developed Counter Strike: Condition Zero and the CS Xbox port. I know that Valve acquired them, but you can't be so sure that it'll be a definate success with that happening.

I'm not saying that the game will be bad, but you can't be sure if the game will be good either.

The game looks pretty average anyway. Does it have splitscreen?

So because Valve isn't developing it, it's not going to be that good?

Your logic is absolutely perplexing.

No it's because Turtle Rock is developing it. They have yet to prove themselves.

Turtle Rock designed most of the maps for the single player of both Half Life 2, Episode 1, and Episode 2, which is why some of the places seem similiar to CS.

its a little too late to try and get people to stop hyping it, the game comes out in less then two months, those who want the game have already made up there mind on it, and those who dont such as you tc have obviously made up your minds to

Umm they didn't make the original. Nor did they make CS Source. They made the Xbox port and Condition Zero

That's irrelevant since Valve acquired Turtle Rock Studios.

I'm not saying that I don't want it nor am I saying for people to stop hyping it. I'm just skeptical right now because I've never been really satisfied with Turtle Rock's games.

Because Valve are about quality. "turtle rock" is now under the Valve name, there not going to allow them to release a game that isn't up to their standards. It'll be a blast.

You seem to know little about mergers or anything business related. Although TurtleRock Studios did not relocate to Washington, Valve has many of their team members assisting with the development.So rest assured, this game will be fine; and pointless threads like this will only make you look naive.

If what you say is correct then it takes some worry off me. I also wasn't trying to do any sort of bashing. I was more skeptical than anything.

Then I apologize for misunderstanding you. I just figured Valve sharing their creative talent with TurtleRock was common knowledge since it is very common in mergers like this.

Let me begin by saying that my opinion is formulated from reading 2 previews (one from GS and one from IGN) and watching a total of 3 vids from various sources. Anyway, with my limited research and knowledge, I have concluded that so far the game looks pretty mediocre. Im not saying its going to be mediocre, but thats the impression im getting at the moment. I hope to be proven wrong :D

It's a game I'll probably end up buying after its price drops a little. Not something I must play on the day it releases. Especially since there are so many games coming out in the same period which I think are superior.

They are part of VALVe no? I am pretty sure that anyone who is part of the VALVe team will have quality, quality-control to make sure what they are releasing is good enough. This is VALVe we are talking about here, the guys who say "it'll come out when it's done."

There's going to be a demo so everyone will be able to see whether or not it is worth hype. I for one have faith that it will be good, pessimism just makes for a boring day.

How about keeping a open mind and HOPE the game turns out great. How is getting excited for a game considered hyping the game? I guess we should just think every game is a failure before it comes out.

Wow, did I say it was going to fail? Did I say it was going to be horrible? No. I was just skeptical.

One poster had already said that some of Valve is taking part in the development so I'm not skeptical on the issue anymore.

Oh no! A great looking game is suddenly crap because a fairly new developer who hasn't had a chance to do anything but port counterstrike so far is developing it! God forbid we give them the chance to make their own god damn game and expect it to be great.

I actually expect high A to AA on this one, but my love for the living dead will compel me to pick it up anyway.
